The Birmingham Business School at the University of Birmingham is celebrating after attaining the Small Business Charter Silver Award - in recognition of the role it has played in helping to kick-start British enterprise. The Small Business Charter Award scheme - which Birmingham Business School is a trailblazer member of - has already helped 4,700 students to find work placements in Britain's exciting micro-business and start-up sector. Small Business Charter business schools have directly helped over 8000 small businesses - working with them through workshops, mentoring and other business support. Over 800 new businesses have already been started as a result of Small Business Charter schools. By receiving the award, Birmingham Business School has demonstrated exceptional dedication to helping improve links with and support the small business community in the local area. The award brings significant benefits - it means that the School will have the ability to play an active role in schemes such as Growth Vouchers, Growth Accelerators and Start-Up Loans provided by the Government - meaning they can directly invest in new start-ups and entrepreneurs. The Small Business Charter Award ceremony took place on Thursday 5 June 2014 at 10 Downing Street.
